A lot of developers are in a hurry to meet a deadline and while I am a real supporer of XSL in my organisation ( small though it is ) there are times when things need to be done quickly. I'm sorry I just don't think that not mentioning a possible however ugly fix is the right way to go. BTW In what configurations doesn't the solution work? This would be useful knowledge to put in the FAQ if it isn't there already. I know a lot of developers have to work out this information themselves by trial and error.
